Isn't it lovely?! I've had this one since 2019. One of my few houseplants with a name, Paprika plant, after my cat who chewed the new baby leaves while it was recovering from a NDE. And, it has called 6 different houses its home ๐

Hereโs my 5yr old baby, aptly named โPhilโ. Heโs produced two littles, one of which is getting to be nearly as big as him already! They grow so fast, such cool plants. ๐ฑ

I had one I got from a neighbor and eventually gifted it to a friend it was 30 years old at the time. Itโs name was big daddy ๐
My mom has one at least as old as I am! I remember it all throughout my childhood. It โdiedโ once in a freak southern freeze, got thrown out in the woods and a few weeks later sprouted new leaves. Brought it back in, repotted, and itโs still kicking... Going on 40+ years at least ๐ช
Beautiful
